Default Finally back on two wheels

Hello all been lurking for a little while but as I got my sv this week I thought I say hi. This is my first road bike for eight years, my last was a 1981 gs650g Katana that was my dads from new. Sadly I had to sell my Corrado Vr6 due to moving house soon and it was a bit too thirsty for the longer drive to work, but it means I've now got this!





She is quite tidy for an old girl, only 10k on the clock. Fitted a scottoiler today. Will be doing a service and fork seal when the parts arrive.

Thanks Gary, I do like 'em curvy!
Just had a right result, was chatting to my neighbor mentioned that I want to put a zx6 shock on and he says he's got one I can have!

I've just rejoined the two wheels brigade too. My Speed 4 was stolen in the spring. My insurance paid out but I couldn't decide what I fancied.

Bought a Fazer 8 last week. I took it to France for bank holiday weekend and rediscovered my need for speed on the deserted french roads Then came back to find queues all over Kent due to a collapsed foot bridge.

Still good to be back on two wheels,

Keith.

Good to see you back on 2 wheels
